DOCUMENTARY
My documentary work combines my love of photography and keen interest in history. Currently, I’m working on four projects, each at various stages of completion and to be published, eventually, as books.
I live in State College, PA but I am from Sheffield, England. My projects include work from both sides of the pond as I visit England often.
Cambridge
A portrait of Cambridge, England. Photographs of a much loved city, located an hour north of London. A document of the city, university, and everyday people.
London-oply
Journey around the London Monopoly gameboard, from Old Kent Road to Mayfair, with stops at King’s Cross Station, Trafalgar Square, the Strand, utilites, and more.
Small-town PA
A close, non-sentimental look at small towns in Central Pennsylvania, between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Hundreds of small towns dot the landscape, many of which struggle.
Statues
Statues of Westminster examines English history through the statues. Westminster, in central London, is densely packed with memorials to war, monarchy, and culture. What should we remember, and why?

PORTRAIT
I love making portraits and working with people, capturing their essence (whatever that is). I work both in my home studio and outdoors in natural light. I photograph seniors, children, families, graduations, business headshots, and events.
PORTRAIT
Portraits are a shared conversation between the photographer, subject, and viewer. It’s a feeling, a human connection, and a moment in time.

WORDS
Photographs are perspectives, and perspective can be learned.
